I have an awards banquet on Saturday...
cocktails 6 to 7
Dinner 7 to 8
Awards 8 to 9
and Dancing till Midnight

Now I find that they are having "cha-cha" lessons before dancing.
which means less time for open dancing...

but they hired a guy to do the lessons, who is supposedly bringing his own music for the the teaching part. I'm sure they will want a few good cha-cha songs to play thru-out the nite. can anyone suggest a few POPULAR songs that people can cha-cha to? I'm looking for songs that'll be good to play, even for the people who DON'T wanna do the dance.
 
Aak Ausumn, I have had a couple of these. The instructor got a few folks on the floor and then with their new found skills those few folks wanted me to play the genre all night also they had to have additional instrucition time to either gain enough interest and or to finally get the hang of it. Hopefully you have a commanding instructor and some astute students.
 
Under The Boardwalk - Drifters

Everybody Likes to Cha Cha - Sam Cooke

I Just Called To Say I'm Sorry - Stevie Wonder

It's Now Or Never - Elvis Presley

Hmmm...off the top of my head at work, that's my short list.

There are tons more - many in the Country Genre.

The attached list should serve you well, but it is from me so who knows how incendiary that alone might make it.

I think all of these suggestions are what I needed.
thanks for the input!

Actually, let's cut off the suggestions here...
I have plenty of ideas now,
and like everyone has mentioned, I don't wanna "cha-cha" them to death!
hopefully, I'll have enough time for other requests
(I already have a list)

Thanks again, everyone!
